Explore the Surface of Mars

Welcome to our first interplanetary tour! We live in exciting times. Mars beckons, the search for life off Earth intensifies. On February 18th, 2021, the Perseverance Rover landed in Jezero Crater on Mars. Its primary mission, to determine if any biology existed on Mars now or in the past. It is an audacious assignment. Discovering a single living molecule or evidence of ancient biological activity will change the way we think as a species forever. We will understand that other places in our vast universe might have evolved life as magnificently as Mother Earth, that we are not alone. What could be more exciting? How will Perseverance Rover do that; what tools are onboard? How did the Rover get to Mars and perform a precision landing after a journey of over 300 million miles? Why was Jezero Crater, the robot's landing site, selected? We will answer these questions and many more in a non-technical way. So, if you're curious about exploring Mars, Join us!
